entra connect

About this tag
The entra connect tag covers Microsoft Entra Connect, the tool for synchronizing on-premises Active Directory with Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD). Recent discussions focus on security hardening against SyncJacking attacks via onPremises mapping controls, potential replication risks and group-sync bugs introduced by KB5065426 on Windows Server 2025, and the role of synchronization service compromise in hybrid ransomware attacks like Storm-0501. Administrators managing hybrid identity should monitor these updates to protect against unauthorized remapping, replication failures, and cloud-based ransomware pivots.
